Effective summer semester 2020, dual enrollment will have a number of changes related to grade eligibility and credit hour caps.
View changes at: FAQs – Dual Enrollment Funding Program – May 20, 2020
A few highlights of the changes to dual enrollment effective summer semester 2020 are:
- A 30 credit hour funding cap will apply to all dual enrollment students.
- 9th graders are no longer eligible for dual enrollment funding; if a student self pays for courses, 9th graders can enroll at CGTC. Dual credit is dependent upon the student’s high school.
- 10th graders are eligible for technical/CTAE courses only with few exceptions. The 30 credit hour cap applies.
- Funding will no longer cover course retakes. If a student must retake a course for satisfactory completion, the student must self-pay.
- Strict rules regarding withdrawing from classes have been added. Students cannot withdraw from more than two courses and receive dual enrollment funding. Dual enrollment students must complete withdrawal forms to request a course withdrawal; the form must be signed and submitted to the CGTC High School Initiatives Coordinator in your area.

Please note that high school students are eligible to take courses at CGTC and self-pay for courses. If a student wishes to enroll but they do not meet DE funding guidelines, they may pay for the course ( Dual Enrollment Charges Acknowledgement Form) . It is dependent upon the student’s school system if they will accept the college credit as high school credit. Mandatory fees and book costs at CGTC are waived for all high school students.

Degree Classes
High school students can take degree-level core courses through CGTC and earn college and high school credit simultaneously. One college semester course is equivalent to one Carnegie unit at the high school. Students must meet minimum testing requirements to enter the program.
Joint Enrollment
High school students can take college courses under the Joint enrollment program and gain college credit only. Students can either self-pay for these courses, or use HOPE Grant funds. Hours taken under Joint enrollment using the HOPE Grant DO count against a student’s HOPE hours cap. The college waives the cost of fees and textbooks for all high school students; self pay students would only be responsible for the cost of tuition. Please contact the High School Initiatives Coordinator in your area for additional information.
Private School Students
High school students enrolled in a private school can enroll in college classes at CGTC by meeting minimum placement requirements. Contact your private school to ensure that they are a participating school for the Dual Enrollment program. If not, private school students would not be eligible for Dual Enrollment funds, but they can choose to self-pay for dual enrollment courses. CGTC waives mandatory fees and book costs for high school students. Contact your guidance counselor or the High School Initiatives Coordinator in your area for additional information.
